It's a complicated series of events but in the end it's really just Ubuntu Dock that's the problem...
1. Open the overview using Super. 2. Start typing in "Type to search". While you're typing the Ubuntu Dock disappears. 3. Because the Ubuntu Dock disappeared, the workspace shape has changed so the desktop icons disappear but you don't notice because you're still in the overview. 4. Hit Enter to complete the search and launch the app. 5. The Ubuntu Dock reappears. 6. desktop-icons-ng restarts, which takes the focus away (because it too is a window now) from the newly launched app. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922772 Title: App search causes Ubuntu Dock to hide, desktop-icons-ng to restart and the new window to lose focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1922772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
